Reform UK Faces Turmoil as Leadership Rift Deepens

Nigel Farage suspends MP Rupert Lowe over bullying allegations as internal divisions threaten party cohesion.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has suspended MP Rupert Lowe following allegations of workplace bullying and derogatory remarks, which Lowe denies.
The suspension comes after Lowe publicly criticized Farage's leadership, calling him a 'Messiah' figure and questioning his ability to deliver electoral success.
Farage's moderate stance on issues like mass deportations contrasts with Lowe's more hardline positions, highlighting ideological divisions within the party.
Elon Musk's earlier support for Lowe and his criticism of Farage have fueled tensions, with Musk's endorsement elevating Lowe's profile among far-right circles.
The internal strife poses a challenge to Reform UK's goal of supplanting the Conservatives, as recent polls show declining public support for Farage and his party.
